About Gato Negro Cigars

Gato Negro was established between Drew Nicastro and a family member that attended a cigar convention together. Drew began to learn the history of his cousin by marriage and his troubling past as a young child living in the communist controlled Cuba. His father owned a store named El Gato Negro (The Black Cat). The story sold a little bit of everything, including cigars. Castro came a little at a time until he stole everything from him and his family. His parents fled with their children to American in fear of their lives. While walking to the ship communists lined their way to the boat, ripping anything of value off of all of them. At the same time, they spat on them even on the youngest which was the cousin who was 4 years old at the time, they spat on them calling them rats for the leaving the revolution. They came to this country with nothing! The father worked for everything they now have today.  He always wanted to honor his father and his legacy and this how Gato Negro Cigars was created. On that night the two bonded but phrase was said that has since become our slogan. “Cuban by Birth, American by the Grace of GOD.”
